Proposed Event

This event is a 6 hour "FA" event in Powell Stackhouse Park in Johnstown, PA from 6 am to 12 noon on October 3rd, 2015. It takes place on a 12K loop consisting of gravel road, double track and single track trail winding through the confines of Stackhouse Park. "FA" events are free but self supported.  There will be access to your own aid station (vehicle) at the end of every loop.   Carrying your own hydration and nutrition on the course is highly recommended.

What is a "FA" Run?

"FA" is the name given to a series of low key runs that are frequented by experienced runners & hikers and characterised by the phrase "No Fees, No Awards, No Aid, No Wimps". Yes, the runs are totally free to enter and are put on by passionate runners who are also running. Think of it as a bit like meeting some people for a bushwalk - except it's a run. Because the runs are not races in any sense, there is no guarantee of anything other than a course to run (although maps and directions may not provided). There are no course marshalls, and no course markers, and you should not expect any aid either. They are an exercise in self-help, and as such experienced runners only should come and join us - they are not intended for beginning runners.
